HOw hard would it be to fix this?

MY friend has this s13 he bought but the previous owner had cut springs on it Anyways...I guess the pressure pushed the strut tower upwards bending the hood. I took this picture to show you the gap between the frame rail and the bottom of the tower. I told him he needs to part the car but he said a shop can fix it for 200 bucks. Kids NEVER cut your springs

Highly doubt that's from cut springs.
cars either been wrecked, and the impact caused the welds and seal to crack, or it just rusted through the weld and separated.

to fix that, Correctly... id pull the motor, and get it on a frame machine... Cutting and welding anything that involves the strut tower can be tough, because if its a bit off, your alignment may never be right.

looks like there might be rust damage...there is alot more to that issue man...they need to alighn everything back up..angles of the tower..hight..ect...$200. bucks...doubt the price...get a few more quoats before you comitt to a s*** shop...it can be saved..with the right person doing it.

Im pretty sure that came apart because of rust, not cut springs...

its deff a combo of rust and cut springs my first coupe i had did the same due to a lot of rot and the stupid kid before i bought it cutting the springs. im sure a good body shop can fix it.

I know this car. I almost bought it off the dude that cut the springs. That thing is F#$%ED. It's been passed around MD on Craigslist for the past year. The wheel well is rusted from the frame rail up. Also the dudes development had speed bumps, so the frame is bent to he!!. The funny thing is about this car is that the price goes up every time. It started at $300, then $1000, now $1900. It's only good as parts... poor car.

Its fixable, BUT is it really worth it for how much you can get a good chasis for....
